Sixteen Horse Helan

Wang Gui, a native of Dingzhou, Hebei Province, has a slightly fat build, a round face and narrow eyes, a wide nose and a wide mouth, and a thin bald head. He is a horse dealer. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, there was a shortage of livestock in the countryside, so Wang Gui saw this opportunity.

In the horse trading business, he led several clerks to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia thousands of miles away to buy horses, and then sold the horses to the Central Plains to make huge profits. After several trips, Wang Gui made a fortune and became a local rich man.

After the beginning of summer this year, the weather got hotter. Wang Gui led his crew to go north again and took the train to Erenhot in Inner Mongolia. More than 200 miles east of Erenhot is the Sunit Left Banner. Outside the banner, there are sparsely populated people and endless grasslands. He heard that the grass here is lush and the horses are

There are many and strong, and the price is cheap. You can buy a strong horse for more than 600 yuan.

Wang Gui arrived with his fellow men, selected and purchased more than a hundred horses, and drove the horses westward from Zuoqi Ranch, intending to return to Erenhot and take the train back to the Central Plains. On the way, they passed Saihangaobi Grassland. At noon, Wang Gui dismounted and had a picnic with everyone.

, everyone was sitting on the ground, and when they were toasting and drinking, a Mongolian man came quickly, came forward, greeted politely, bowed, and asked Wang Gui: "Are you buying a horse?" Wang Gui nodded, looked at the man, and saw him.

Wearing a blue robe and a yellow belt around his waist, he is strong and strong, with a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, thick lips and a wide nose, and a shy speech. He is honest and simple. The man continued to ask: "I have a good horse at home, and I want to sell it.

, can you buy it?" When Wang Gui heard that there was a good horse, he immediately became excited and said, "Wonderful! If you have a good horse, I will buy it." Wang Gui put down the cup and stood up, calling the two men to follow him to the horse.

When he arrived at Hanzi's horse pen, he saw several horses in the pen. Wang Gui walked around the horse pen to look at them. He saw unscrupulous horses, but he didn't like any of them. "Do you have any good horses? They are all average." He shook his head angrily.

, just as he was about to return home disappointed, he suddenly heard the sound of a horse neighing, and following the sound, he saw a horse tied outside the man's tent. The horse held its head high and roared, its neighing sound was deafening, its body was fat and fat, and its four hooves stamped on the ground, thump thump.

It is powerful, its body is dark and shiny, and there is only a white spot like a ping-pong ball in the middle of its forehead. You don’t need to look at its mouth to know that it is a strong horse. Wang Gui secretly praised: What a beautiful horse! He pointed to the horse outside the tent and asked:

"Can this horse be sold?" The man hesitated and shook his head, saying no. Wang Gui looked at it and said bluntly: "I only like this horse, and the rest are not!" The man stepped forward and said apologetically: "Dear guest, this horse is my

Can my mount be able to ride on it?"

Wang Gui said nothing and waved to the waiter, indicating to return. Before the crowd had taken ten steps, the man chased him and said, "Dear guest, please wait." He turned around and entered the account, discussed with his family, and decided to leave the account in a short time.

He said: "I'm going to ask you to bid." Wang Gui stepped forward and suddenly heard the sound of coughing in the tent. He asked: "Is there a patient in your family? Who is sick?" The man sighed and said: "My mother is sick, and I am sick."

The family has no money to treat the disease, so we have no choice but to give it up." He frowned, showing the pain of giving up his love. Wang Gui was secretly happy in his heart, and smiled slyly. According to the regular price, this horse was worth a thousand yuan, but he deliberately lowered the price, stretched out his five fingers, and said, "Five

One hundred yuan, can you?" The man smiled bitterly and begged: "Please add a little, six hundred yuan?" Wang Gui turned his hand and said: "Add fifty more, don't sell it!" It was expected that the man was in urgent need of money and would be in a hurry.

When Wang Gui came out, he pretended not to take it seriously and turned around to leave. As Wang Gui expected, the man hesitated, sighed, followed, and said fiercely: "Five hundred and fifty, I'm done!"

After Wang Gui paid the capital, when he was leading the black horse, the man was reluctant to leave it. He stroked the horse's head and said to Wang Gui: "Not long after this horse was born, its mother died and it had no milk. My mother fed it with milk. It was not easy."

, Now because I don’t have the money to seek medical treatment, I have no choice but to give it up.”

Before leaving, the man told Wang Gui, "My mother named this horse Helan. He is a man of humanity, so please treat him kindly." Helan is a Mongolian word, which means horse. Wang Gui blasted Helan into the herd of horses.

The herd of horses traveled westward for another hundred miles and arrived at Erenhot Railway Station in the evening. With many years of friendship between the two lines, Wang Gui quickly ordered a freight car and planned to set off back to the Central Plains tomorrow morning.

That night, when Wang Gui was about to go to bed, the clerk on duty rushed into the house and told him, "Shopkeeper Wang, it's not good! Helan bit off the reins and ran away!" Wang Gui rushed to the horse group to check, and indeed Helan ran away!

Wang Gui looked at the vast dark night and thought: The horse knows the way, and it will definitely escape back to the Hanzi's house. Wang Gui wants to send a man to find it, but is worried that there will be no time. Furthermore, it is late at night and hundreds of miles away. Even if he finds the Hanzi's house, if the other party denies it,

, Isn’t it in vain? Wang Gui sighed and said: "Huh! You just lost five hundred and fifty yuan in vain, you are thinking you are in trouble."

The next morning, Wang Gui and other men drove the horses into the carriage. The grassland horses were wild and untamed and refused to enter the carriage. They had to be pulled and beaten one by one to enter. Everyone was exhausted and sweating profusely. The horses finally entered the carriage.

, when I was about to close the compartment and lock it, I suddenly heard a shout from afar: "Slowly close! Slowly close!..."

Horse hooves clattered, approaching from far away. He saw two horses galloping in the distance. There was a man on one horse, and the other horse was galloping behind him. When he got closer, Wang Guifang recognized him as the man who was riding the horse yesterday. He saw the galloping horse all over his body.

It was dark and shiny, with a white spot like a ping-pong ball in the middle of the forehead, which was Helan! Wang Gui was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed.

The horse galloped in front of Wang Gui. The man turned over and dismounted, panting and saying: "I'm sorry! Last night..., this black beast escaped home, so... You are in a hurry. My mother urged me to send it back. It's not yet dawn.

I stood up and almost missed it." Wang Gui was extremely excited, such an unexpected and precious thing! How can you believe it? Wang Gui was moved and stepped forward, holding the man's hand tightly, "You, why did you send it? Why did you send it so far?

"You, you, you keep it and mount it..." Wang Gui's words did not match what he said, and he was confused for a moment. The man waved his hand and said, "That's it! I can't keep it. My mother said that I have already collected the money. If you don't understand,

If the gods don’t allow things that belong to humans, they will definitely be punished!”

The man's words are simple and pure, shocking to the heart. What a holy and noble mother! What an innocent and loyal son! Wang Gui's eyes were wet with tears, so he took two hundred yuan and forced it to pay, "You have worked hard, accept this money, accept it,

I want to buy nutritional supplements for your mother..." The man decided to refuse and pushed away Wang Gui's hand, "No, no! My mother taught me not to accept unwarranted wealth. If my mother knew about it, she would be angry." After the man finished speaking, he jumped on his horse,

Saying goodbye, he jumped on his horse and whipped his whip, and galloped away without looking back.

Looking at the back of the man gradually disappearing, Wang Gui suddenly burst into tears! His guilty heart could not calm down for a long time: a few hundred yuan is a drop in the bucket for me, it is insignificant, but the scene just now taught me a lesson! I have a copper stench all over my body, and regard wealth as my life.

I have a lot of money, and my mother and son are poor and miserable, but their noble character is ten thousand times better than mine! Let me wake up, there are things in the world that are more valuable than money, and things that shine more brightly than gold, which are noble characters!

The horses were sold to Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, and Helan was purchased by a farmer in Yangquan with a capital of 2,500 yuan. Although the business was hugely profitable, Wang Gui was unhappy. This incident has always lingered in his mind. Mongolian men and Helan were often seen.

His current situation emerged. Recalling the incident, Wang Gui blamed himself: I am ashamed of my mother and son, and my conduct is bad! I took advantage of others' danger, bought it at a low price, and made huge profits from it. Although I am not an unforgivable villain, I can be said to be seeking money without reason.

You are a profiteer! I am not as good as Helan, a beast! Alas! Because I was so excited at that time, I forgot to ask the man’s name, and I don’t know how his mother’s condition is. Has her mother recovered? This unjust and unreasonable thing is like a heavy stone weighing on Wang Gui’s heart.

, making it uncomfortable to bear the weight.

One month later, after surviving the wheat harvest, Wang Gui and his colleagues boarded the train north to Erenhot. After getting off the train, they headed east to Sunit Left Banner.

A visit to the Hanzi’s family to visit his never-before-seen yet admirable mother!

Wang Gui went to Hanzi's house as if he was carrying a thorn, and surrounded by all his assistants, he went to Hanzi's house. He saw Hanzi making medicine for his mother outside the tent, and the smell of medicine hit his nostrils. Seeing Wanggui arriving, Wanggui greeted him happily, shouting loudly: "

Hey! I've been looking forward to it day by day, you'll finally come!"

At this moment, Wang Gui was stunned by the sound of a horse neighing outside the tent! He saw a horse tied outside the tent, with its head held high and roaring, the neighing sound was deafening, its body was dark and shiny, and there was a white spot like a ping-pong ball in the middle of its forehead, eh!

This is Helan! Yangquan is thousands of miles away from here, how can it return? It has a deep affection for mother and son, and it must be because of love. Wang Gui sighed and said: "What a magical horse! If mother and son ask me to take him away, eh?
